A/N: I've had this idea for about... thirty minutes... had to write it down. -_-0 baka gusei sazo. *shrugs*

Disclaimer: no own.

Summery (well, not technically a summary; this is just a clip from the ficlet you're about to read): "YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" Hikari half screamed, half sobbed. "DADDY WOULDN'T ALLOW IT, AND NEITHER WOULD TAICHI, AND BESIDES, YOU'D HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR TWO FUNERALS!" Hikari was now into the hysterics, just like her mother. "TWO FUNERALS??!? EXCUSE ME, HIKARI, BUT I WON'T PAY FOR SOME SLUT'S BRAT'S FUNERAL, AND I WON'T PAY FOR YOURS! FROM NOW ON YOU'RE DEAD TO THE YAGAMI FAMILY! YOU DON'T HAVE A NAME OR A HOME, NOT UNLESS YOU RECONSIDER YOUR DECISIONS!!!!" "GOD DAMN YOU, MOM!" Hikari roared, and started to turn, then gasped, and froze. So did Mrs. Yagami, when they both saw Mr. Yagami...

Title: A Broken Goddess

Hikari's POV

.

"No, Okaasan, you can't make me!" Hikari screamed, more tears streaming down her face. Her mother was in a similar condition, except the book she had once been reading was in shreds on the floor and her face was not only red from tears, but from anger and screaming.

"I'M YOUR MOTHER!" She roared, almost incoherently. "AND I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU!"

"No, you don't!" Hikari wailed, childishly stomping her foot. "Shimatta, Okaasan, I came to you for support!"

"WELL YOU AREN'T GETTING IT! I SAID ABORTION, AND ABORTION IT IS!"

"I want to keep it!" Hikari screamed. "Even if you and Otousan and Taichi throw me out on the streets and hate me forever, I'm not going to lose this baby!"

"AREN'T EVEN GOING TO TELL WHO THE FATHER IS, HUH??!? HIKARI LIN YAGAMI, LISTEN TO ME!"

"I have been!" another stomp of the foot. Every muscle in Hikari's body ached, and now she was hurting even more emotionally than before. She had thought her mother, of all people... would understand... "And I'm not telling you who the father is because one, he doesn't know, and two, I'd like him to live!" Hikari inwardly smacked herself for letting it slip. She wasn't supposed to say he didn't know yet. Her mother was the first one she was telling, unless you counted the cashier last night, who had given her the pregnancy test with an encouraging smile. Hikari hadn't know then. She had been in denial all night and all day, but after her friends started noticing, she decided to accept the truth and tell somebody. So after school, she came home to the house, where she knew only her mother would be. Her father worked for another few hours (a glance at the clock concluded any minute now), and Taichi was at soccer practice and would be spending the night with his team in a town not too far away for the tournament tomorrow. The Yagami family had been prepared to go, and bring a picnic, and cheer Tai and his team on.

"What are you going to do, Okaasan?" Hikari cried. "I'm NOT getting an abortion, and I am NOT giving up the baby for adoption! If you aren't going to support me, then what are you going to do?"

"DISOWN YOU!"

Hikari bit back a gasp. She hadn't expected that.

Just then, the door opened, and in came Mr. Yagami, Hikari's father.

Her father was still decked out in a business suit, and did a double take and froze when he came into the living room and saw Mrs. Yagami and Hikari. Neither girl noticed him.

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" Hikari half screamed, half sobbed. "DADDY WOULDN'T ALLOW IT, AND NEITHER WOULD TAICHI, AND BESIDES, YOU'D HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR TWO FUNERALS!" Hikari was now into the hysterics, just like her mother.

"TWO FUNERALS??!? EXCUSE ME, HIKARI, BUT I WON'T PAY FOR SOME SLUT'S BRAT'S FUNERAL, AND I WON'T PAY FOR YOURS! FROM NOW ON YOU'RE DEAD TO THE YAGAMI FAMILY! YOU DON'T HAVE A NAME OR A HOME, NOT UNLESS YOU RECONSIDER YOUR DECISIONS!!!!"

"GOD DAMN YOU, MOM!" Hikari roared, and started to turn, then gasped, and froze. So did Mrs. Yagami, when they both saw Mr. Yagami.

There was a moment of silence; the tears still running rivers down the girls' faces were strangely silent. Somewhere outside a large clock tolled out four times.

Finally, Mr. Yagami coughed slightly and decided to look first at his wife. "What is it that Hikari thinks I won't allow?" he asked, using that calm I'm-the-father voice.

(A/N: hate that tone...)

Hikari answered for her "mother".

"Otousan, she said that you're disowning me!"

"What?? Never! Why?"

"BECAUSE!" Mrs. Yagami screamed, "YOUR DAUGHTER, YES, HIKARI LIN YAGAMI, IS PREGNANT AND DOESN'T KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS! LIKE SHE'S SOME KIND OF, OF, WHORE!"

There was a very thick silence after that. "What?" he asked softly. Silence. Then...

"Is this true, Hikari?" Mr. Yagami asked. Hikari looked sideways and down, avoiding his eyes (her mother was behind her). "I said, is that true?"

"What?" Hikari said softly, much like he had just done.

Mr. Yagami was using a hard controlled tone of voice, like he was using every last bit of strength he had to keep from yelling. His face was tight.

"Yes." Hikari whispered.

Mr. Yagami went pale. He lost control, just like his wife, and flew into hysterics.

"WHAT??!?" He exploded. "WE RAISE YOU, FEED YOU, PUT A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US??!? BY SLEEPING AROUND AND SOMEHOW GETTING PREGNANT??!?!?!!?"

"It wasn't like that!" Hikari sobbed. "I only did it once, with one guy, and it was only last month! I felt safe with him, and besides, he doesn't know about this yet!" she took a deep shaky breath, wiping her nose and eyes angrily. Not that it did any good. "I thought you guys were my parents, my family, that you would support me and my decision to keep the baby, Otousan, Okaasan, I'm your daughter. I'm not getting an abortion, or adopting it out, I'm keeping this baby, and maybe someday the father and I will get married, and THEN I'll be out of your lives, but mommy, daddy, please, don't hate me!" she shook her head. Her hair was in total disarray, sticking to her face via tears and sweat. "Please!" she whispered.

It did no good.

"NO!" WHAT KIND OF TRUE, LOVING DAUGHTER WOULD DO THIS??!?!?"

"YOU CALL ME YOUR CHILD! YOU HAD SEX AND HAD ME, AND YOU LOVE ME, HOW CAN YOU JUST THROW ME OUT AT A TIME LIKE THIS, WHEN I NEED YOU MOST??!?" Hikari burst into a bigger new wave of tears. "I HATE YOU!" she screamed, and ran towards the door. "SOME PARENTS! I'D RATHER DISOWN MYSELF FIRST!"

"WELL IT'S TOO LATE, WE'VE ALREADY DISOWNED YOU, AND YOU NO LONGER EXIST!"

"FINE!" Hikari reached for the door handle.

"JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING YOUNG LADY??!?"

"I'M NOT PART OF THIS OH-SO-PERFECT FAMILY, I'M GOING OUT TO LIVE ON THE STREETS AND STARVE TO DEATH, AND I'LL HAVE A NOTE ATTACHED TO MY SHIRT THAT SAYS YOU WERE THE ONES THAT KILLED ME," She took a deep breath, finally jerking the door open. "BECAUSE YOU HAVE! THANK YOU, MR AND MRS. YAGAMI, FOR BRINGING MY LIFE TO A HALT AND SHATTERING IT IN TO A MILLION PIECES! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED??!?" she threw herself out the door, not caring that the entire neighborhood could probably hear. "WELL, CONGRATULATIONS! HIKARI YAGAMI, YES, HIKARI LIN YAGAMI, IS DEAD!!!!!" She slammed the door shut and threw herself over the balcony just as it jerked open and both red-faces parents saw her fall.

"Hikari!" they chorused, voices a mix of anger and a little surprise. Suicide was not good on job applications.

Hikari thought that, for a moment, she had just ended everything; that all would be okay now, and her already dead life would tip into a true blackness. But then she thought about the baby inside of her, and somehow managed to, in a split second, twist around and land in a large bushes. They hurt, and scratched her up pretty bad, but she jerked out of them and stumbled to her feet. She looked up at her former parents, who stared down at her.

"GET BACK HERE, HIKARI!"

"NO! YOU DISOPWNED ME, REMEMBER??!?" That did it. she turned and ran, ran harder then she had ever run before.
